dc.description.abstract | Liver cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death in the world. PATZ1 is a transcription factor associated with the progression of various cancers. However, the role of PATZ1 in liver cancer progression remains unclear. This study established that PATZ1 is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells as compared to normal hepatocytes. Gene Ontology clustering of PATZ1 gene expression microarray and ChIP-Seq analyses revealed a role of PATZ1 in the cell proliferation of HepG2 cells. Consistently, knockdown of PATZ1 in HepG2 increased cell proliferation. This study further shows that PATZ1 binds to and regulates the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor CDKN1B in cooperation with p53. In summary, this study provides a novel mechanistic insight into the role of PATZ1 in liver cancer progression by its direct regulation of CDKN1B to modulate cell proliferation, thereby providing a promising therapeutic intervention for liver cancer. | |
